Traffic management

Set up intelligent intra-mesh and multicluster routing for your Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes workloads, and learn how you can process and manipulate requests and responses.

Concepts

Understand how Gloo Mesh simplifies networking resources such as gateways for your service mesh.

Request matching

Specify how you want to match requests to a service in your mesh in a route table.

Request forwarding

Route incoming requests directly to a Kubernetes service within one cluster, to services across …

Direct response

Directly respond to incoming requests without routing the requests to services in your service mesh.

Redirects and rewrites

Redirect or rewrite the requests for one host or path to another host or path.

Route delegation

Delegate requests through one parent route table to other child route tables.

Header manipulation

Append or remove HTTP request and response headers at the route level.

Load balancing and consistent hashing

Decide how to load balance incoming requests to an upstream service and enforce sticky sessions.

Mirroring

Duplicate outgoing traffic to test a new app.

Transformation

Alter a request before matching and routing, such as with an Inja header template.
